Amid rapid global economic developments and the continuous search for safe havens, estimates issued by Metals Focus, a company specializing exclusively in precious metals consulting, indicate that the gold markets are heading towards a price boom and unprecedented record levels by 2027. This comes as a result of investors increasingly resorting to alternative assets to escape fluctuations associated with traditional assets denominated in the US currency. According to what was stated in the annual report issued by the consulting institution, the precious yellow metal is poised to achieve qualitative leaps, with its average price reaching the barrier of 5330 dollars per ounce during the targeted period in 2027, recording a significant rise of about 22 percent compared to the prices currently prevailing. This expected rise is linked to the continuation of fears associated with inflationary pressures and the exacerbation of the fiscal deficit in the United States, in addition to the escalation of prevailing states of uncertainty regarding the paths of economic and financial policy-making. On the other hand, the consulting institution issued clear methodological warnings stating that the persistence of the Federal Reserve in the approach of tightening monetary policy to control inflation rates may impose temporary suppression and obstacles to the rise of the precious metal prices in the near term.
